FINISHED QUILT: 98½˝ × 105˝

Pieced and quilted by Ruth Ann Berry, 2014

My go-to background set is black prints. It seems like any bright color combination steps forward when laid over the top of the comparatively dark backdrop. I think the contrast causes the background to visually recede and gives the impression of depth.

MATERIALS

Yardages are based on 40˝ usable width. The fabrics in each scribble and background set should graduate in value from light to dark.

Scribble 1 (fabrics 1–10): ½ yard each of 10 solid or tonal fabrics in the same color family

Scribble 2 (fabrics 11–20): ½ yard each of 10 solid or tonal fabrics in the same color family

Background (fabrics 21–30): ¾ yard each of 10 print fabrics

Borders 1 and 5: 1¼ yards

Border 2: ½ yard

Border 3: ⅔ yard

Border 4: ⅔ yard

Backing: 9 yards (3¼ yards if 108˝ wide)

Batting: 107˝ × 113˝

Binding: 1 yard

CUTTING

Create a fabric number chart by attaching a small clipping of each fabric to a piece of paper. Number the fabrics in each group from lightest (lowest number) to darkest (highest number).

Cut all strips, including bindings, 2½˝ × the width of fabric unless noted otherwise.

Scribble 1: Cut 6 strips from each fabric.

Scribble 2: Cut 6 strips from each fabric.

Background: Cut 7 strips from each fabric.

Binding: Cut 11 strips.

Borders 1 and 5: Cut 21 strips 2˝ × the width of fabric.

Borders 2 and 3: Cut 10 strips 1¼˝ × the width of fabric for each border.

Border 4: Cut 11 strips 1¾˝ × the width of fabric.

Assemble the Strip Sets

Seam allowances are ¼˝ for all quilt assembly steps. Construct each strip set in numerical order from light to dark. Refer to Constructing Strip Sets.

Construct the strip sets:

6 using the scribble 1 fabrics

6 using the scribble 2 fabrics

7 using the background fabrics
